SOVIET AND BRITAIN
M. KRASSIN’S EFFORTS. LONDON, November 24. The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Sir Austen Chamberlain, in the House of Commons to-day, expressed his regret at the death of M. Krassin, the Soviety Charge d’Affaires in London. Replying to a ouestion about the open and continued breaches by the Russian Soviet republics of the trade agreement with this country, Sir Austen stated that he had recently once more made it clear to M. Krassin that the propaganda carried on by Russia was the principal obstacle against any improved relations between the two countries. The newspapers, in their obituary notices, appreciate M. Krassin’a efforts to put his country’s relations with Britain on a better footing. It is pointed out that, while M. Krassin was doing his best in this direction, his endeavours were doomed to failure while Russian money was coming to this country for the miners—to nelp one side in an internal industrial dispute.
